Sugarlat needs help on her cosplays!
« on: June 26, 2008, 05:43:59 am »
Hola guys!
So I have lots of cosplay's planned for Kumoricon and up coming events such as cosplay picnics and ice skating and what not!
SO! I'm going as the following: [these have already been decided]

Rin Kagamine from Vocaloid --> http://moetron.com/newfiles/kagamine_rin45110.jpg
Yuki Nagato -> http://hontouni.com/handofgory/images/haruhi/BoHS_natsuseikfuku.jpg
-OR-
Haruhi Suzumiya -> http://www.haru.tv/cover/389.jpg

Here's the if I can get it done section: ^_^;;
Misa Amane [Shinigami] -> http://bp2.blogger.com/_PgzWtj7VIiM/RhYvgS4Z-SI/AAAAAAAAB54/pyI4qby6zsI/s400/misa.jpg [This is my biggest problem]
Misa Amane [School] -> http://www.mooncostumes.com/image/17527
Hunny from Ouran -> http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb7/forbidde-121/29608a34.jpg
Konata Izumi -> http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z173/rukawagf_random2/wf_max_01.jpg

Now that that's out of the way....Onto my biggest problem!
See this? -->http://tupianku.com/bin/2439/053001.jpg
I need help on making it! It's $150 on ebay and it's like knify....
Which is very dangerous and I need to a way to make it!
I know it won't be easy but I need help on how to make it...T_T
I'm so at a loss! Help me please!? I need to make it with some kind of hard yet non-dangerous material
I need some way to connect them with the bolts and whatnot on to the bracelets which can be bought at like Hot topic or something...
But I really need help and I wanna try and finish it by Kumoricon! Can you help poor Sugarlat? T_T

Oh boy, the Misa-claws! I know what to do! You can choose one of two methods: paperclay or Wonderflex. I myself would go with Wonderflex, since once you have a heat gun and Bondo (or vinyl spackling) anything is possible! What you would want to do with the paperclay method would be to make the claws out of clay, let them dry, and then sand them, coat them in a couple things of gesso or something, then paint them. Too much trouble, if you ask me. The Wonderflex method would be to shape the claws out of the Wonderflex, coat them in a coat of Bondo or vinyl spackling, and then sand that down and paint. The Wonderflex method, in my opinion, is much faster and much easier. With the size of those claws, you wouldn't need much more than a small, maybe medium sheet of the stuff.

Are you going to be going to the picnic? If you are I already have the Misa School girl outfit. The only thing it is missing is the stocking and the red bow. I have a good shirt and skirt. If you are going to the picnic I can let you borrow it.

I have that done, but I don't wanna go as that one since I went to Kumoricon Lite as that Misa one. I used a red tie and had chains comming from it for the last minute thing. I wanna try and go to the picnic. CatchxMe is going as Punk Kakashi, Syd-chan is going as Punk Sakura, and If I can go I'm going as punk Kurenai-sensei XD
Thanks anyway! I need a wig for my Misa thing, I just hope to get the claws done.

Rin-chaaaaaan! KA~GA~MI~NE RI~N!! So that will be Sunday? I'll remember it!

I hope you've found your wigs by now.

Those gauntlets look super-awesome. But so hard to make! Are they mostly stationary or do they have moving parts?
